Who is the lead role in this? Naturally I haven't seen it because I cant find where to buy it but after reading Eli Wallach's book he was offered the role in this movie but the producers said no use steiger. But I thought it was James Coburn who ended up playing in the role.

the revolution steiger and colburn get into reminds me of the civil war blondie & tuco get caught up in w/ a big difference . AE's, blondie & tuco avoided the war with disgust. so many men wasted so badly.

th civil war was about slavery, cotton, and southern "pride". the revolution was different.there was a real cause to take up arms....and dynamite
